Can Opener Micro Tool: Keychain Can Opener
A Keychain Can Opener That Actually Stays With You
A full size can opener is easier to use. The problem is that it usually stays in the kitchen.
The Can Opener Micro Tool gives you a flat backup that can ride on keys, a zipper pull, or in a tiny food kit. The tool body is 0.030 inch stainless steel, and the included 1 inch nickel plated steel snap hook gives it an easy place to live.
It is made in the USA and built for the simple job its name says: opening a can when the normal opener is somewhere else.
Use small, controlled bites around the lid and watch the cut edge, which can be sharp.
Why Carry a Can Opener This Small?
Canned food is easy to open right up until the opener is sitting in a drawer forty miles away.
This tiny can opener is meant to solve that boring little problem without claiming a whole pocket. Clip it to keys, a zipper pull, or a small kit and let it stay there until the day dinner needs it.
A full size opener will always be faster. This one earns its place by being the opener that actually made the trip.

How to Use the Keychain Can Opener Micro Tool
Like all Grim Workshop tools, this micro can opener is supported by education. We provide guides that explain:
- What the tool is designed to do
- How to use leverage instead of force
- How to improvise alternatives if the tool is lost
Understanding technique matters just as much as the tool itself.
Built for Keychain Carry
The useful part of a tiny tool is not that it is tiny. It is that you can give it a permanent home.
The included 1 inch snap hook makes this an easy keychain or keyring can opener, and the 0.030 inch stainless steel body stays flat enough for a zipper pull, small pouch, or compact food kit.
That means you do not have to remember to pack a can opener every time. You just have to remember where you clipped it.
Where This Tiny Can Opener Fits
This tool works best as a small backup in the places where canned food may show up but a kitchen drawer will not.
- Camping food kits
- Vehicle emergency food
- Work and travel bags
- Power outage supplies
- Small mess kits
- Keychains and zipper pulls

Small Tool, Honest Tradeoffs
A Micro Tool is a tradeoff on purpose. A normal kitchen opener gives you more leverage and speed. This one gives you a much smaller tool that is easier to keep with you.
Work slowly and keep your fingers clear of the cut lid. Freshly opened cans can leave sharp edges.
If you are learning the technique, use the Grim Workshop can opener guide before you need the tool away from home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Complete a Tiny Food Access Kit
If you are building a tiny food access kit, add tools that cover a different job instead of stacking more of the same.
The Bottle Opener Micro Tool adds a separate bottle opening tool in the same compact format. If you prefer a dog tag format that combines can and bottle opening roles, the Dog Tag Bottle Opener Necklace and Can Opener is the larger alternative.

VerifiedThe material is flimsy and hard to manipulate without causing discomfort. There is no way to apply any leverage to force the blade into the top of the can.

VerifiedLighter than the P38 and more useful than one in my opinion. It's nice that it doesn't flop open inadvertently, and will likely make it easier to sharpen. Too thin for prying anything small but you would likely want a bigger tool for that anyways. The blunt tip is great for cleaning underneath nails.

VerifiedLove everything about it except the 1mm width. Honestly, I haven’t tried it to know, but I wonder whether it will bend with use. I would pay twice the asking price for a 3mm version if you’re listening, Grim. By the way, I did not see any mention of a warranty on the site. I also bought the similar bottle opener and my thoughts are the same there. Thanks Grim, I appreciate your design and craftsmanship which is first rate.

VerifiedCan you make a heavy duty version of the P-38 were the hinge will not bend after long term use? This zipper can opener is a novel idea but it’s about 3 times harder to open a can than the P-38. Also, a little sheath would make it safer. I’ve made a sheath for mine with a large drinking straw.
